    I telephoned Exeter registration services where all Devon (except Plymouth and Torbay) records are kept but they said they do not have search facilities and for them to do anything I would have to know where and when she was born. They suggested I get in touch with GRO, which I did but with the range of years I have and the Surname I was told they would get too many possibles and would not be able to sort it out.

    I just don't know what I can do now.

    I have got the certificate for Charlotte Jane Jeffery and it looks as if I might be getting somewhere. On the certificate

    Charlotte Jane Jeffery - 21st Feb 1904 - 17 Victory Street Devonport

    Father - Thomas Jeffery - Occupation - Foreman of Keyham Extension

    Mother - Sarah Jeffery formely Polcock

    Thomas's occupation fits in with marriage certificates as Keyham Extension was an extension to Dockyard.

    Sarah Jane POCOCK married in the Dec qtr 1883, Totnes district vol 5b page 306 to either David DAVIES or James PERRING. The spelling POLCOCK doesn't appear on FREEBMD anywhere.
    Here is Sarah in 1881:

    I couldn't locate a marriage between Thomas JEFFERY & Sarah (DAVIES or PERRING).

    there is something weird here. I checked the 1871 Census for Sarahs born Cawsand (birthplace from 1901 Census) in 1861 + - 2 years and found 3.
    Sarah Jane Hoskin, daughter of John, born 1861
    Sarah Ann Martin, daughter of John Bral & Sarah Jane, born 1859
    Sarah Loy Wilton, daughter of William & Eliza Margaret, born 1862

    I then checked for a marriage of Sarah Jane Hoskin and found:
    Marriages Dec 1882
    Hoskin Sarah Jane Plymouth 5b 474

    and on the same page:

    Jeffery Thomas Pinwill Plymouth 5b 474

    goodness knows where the Polcock comes from.

    I have Sarah born at either Ilfracombe or Knowle Devon. She married William Albert Ansted in Exeter on 4/2/1911 age 22.

    She married my Grandfather William Charles Summerfield in East Stonehouse on 26/12/1916 age 25.

    She died at 123E King Street Plymouth on 24/2/1966 age 78

    I tried to find birth of Charlotte Jeffery c1903 Plymouth Devon (from 1911 census) she married Frank Lomax at Plymouth Jun Q 1922. The only birth I can find is Charlotte Jane Jeffery Mar Q 1904 Devonport.

    If I got in touch with Plymouth Registry Office and gave the information on her parents that I know, which is her Father was Thomas Jeffery and Mother was Sarah would I get charged. I know if I do it through GRO I would get charged £4 administration even if its the wrong certificate.

    Or can anyone help find the birth.
